The ATA004N and ATA005P are diagnostic tools which can be used to view the data fields stored by Inspired
Energy smart battery packs. It uses a standard USB port, with software written by Inspired Energy to display the
battery data on any windows based computer. The unit can be used to view and record static battery data, or to
log dynamic battery data while the battery is charging or discharging. This makes it an invaluable tool for quality
assessments, system testing, SMBus communications troubleshooting and battery end-of-life determinations. The
unit can also be used to write to those battery data fields which support external input.
